CVE-2024-42911
Published: 14 January 2025
Summary
CVE-2024-42911 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Ecovacs (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 14.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-42911 is a WiFi Remote Code Execution vulnerability (CWE-94) in ECOVACS Robotics Deebot T20 OMNI and T20e OMNI devices running versions prior to 1.24.0. The issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code over WiFi connections and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), reflecting network accessibility, high attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impacts to confidentiality and integrity but none to availability.
Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network by leveraging WiFi access to the affected devices. Successful exploitation enables full remote code execution, potentially allowing control over the robot vacuum's functions, data access, or further network pivoting depending on the executed code.
ECOVACS has published security advisory DSA20250113001 at https://www.ecovacs.com/global/userhelp/dsa20250113001 detailing the issue, with mitigation available by updating affected Deebot T20 OMNI and T20e OMNI devices to version 1.24.0 or later.
